[Broccoli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/broccolis-bag) is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, potassium and dietary fiber, but unfortunately it is recognized as the most hated vegetable in some parts of the world—with its newest campaign, broccoli brand [Tenderstem](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenderstem-tenderchoc) is out to change this perception. The #GetTenderTonight campaign launched in the UK with several sampling stations on the streets that encourage the public to take away a raw sample, a spice mix and a recipe to enjoy at home.

[Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-free-made-easy-campaign) and Snapchat are being used to amplify the core message of the #GetTenderTonight campaign.

With the rise of healthy living and eating, many consumers have come to appreciate the simplicity and incredible nutrition that can come from good greens like broccoli. A campaign like Tenderstem's seems to be launching at exactly the right time to capitalize on this positive shift in consumer attitudes and a desire to be more open-minded with food choices.
